Psa 84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they will be still praising thee.

It is vitally important for our spiritual lives that we be faithful in our attendance to the house of God. David certainly knew the importance. He valued it ! He loved it !

Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psa. 55:14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

Church attendance is not a warranty or a guarantee of no sin......but those who forsake the assembling of themselves with other saints will certainly be living disobediently....will lack the fellowship of believers.....will be neglecting the priviledge of worshipping God.....will be undernourished in their spiritual lives....and their faith will only be weakened......thus they will have a very difficult time in fighting the fight against the flesh, and Satan.

2. Avoid The Situations.

1 Thess. 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

“Abstain” means “to hold oneself off”

On the TV show Hee Haw, Doc Campbell is confronted by a patient who says he broke his arm in two places. The doc replies, “Well then, stay out of them places!” He may have something there. We cannot regularly put ourselves in the face of temptation and not be affected. When faced with the problem of temptation, we need to take the good doctor’s advice and “stay out of them places.”

If you’re prone to fall....don’t walk where it’s slippery !

If you’re prone to lust.....stay off the beach !

Stay out of them places !

1 Co 6:18 “Flee fornication........”

2 Ti 2:22 “Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace with them that call on the name of the Lord........”

1 Co 10:14 .......”flee from idolatry”

Don’t you imagine that Eve’s proximity to the tree made it that much easier for the devil to get her attention !

3. Assimilate The Scriptures.

“Assimilate” means to convert ! We are to convert the scriptures to our living !

Psa 119:11 Thy word have i hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
